Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves wine tasting and sommelier courses, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider.

1. Wine Tasting Experience: Consider booking a wine tasting experience for your son at a local winery or vineyard. This will provide him with the opportunity to delve deeper into his passion and explore different varieties of wines under the guidance of experts. Many wineries offer guided tours, tastings, and educational sessions, which can be an enriching experience for any wine enthusiast.

2. Sommelier Course: If your son is serious about developing his knowledge and expertise in wine, you can gift him a sommelier course. Look for reputable wine schools or institutions that offer comprehensive sommelier programs. This will not only enhance his understanding of wine but also equip him with the necessary skills to excel in a professional setting.

3. Wine Subscription: Consider gifting your son a wine subscription service, where he can receive a curated selection of wines delivered to his doorstep regularly. There are numerous subscription services available that offer a variety of wines from around the world. This will give him the opportunity to discover new and unique wines while expanding his palate.

4. Wine Accessories: Help enhance your son's wine tasting experience by gifting him quality wine accessories. Consider items like a decanter, aerator, wine glasses, a wine opener set, or a wine journal for him to keep track of his tasting notes. These practical and thoughtful gifts will elevate his wine tasting experience and show that you support his passion.

5. Wine Books: Expand your son's knowledge through wine-related books. Consider gifting him well-regarded publications on wine tasting techniques, wine regions, or winemaking. Some popular options include "The World Atlas of Wine" by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, "The Wine Bible" by Karen MacNeil, or "Wine Folly: Magnum Edition" by Madeline Puckette and Justin Hammack.

6. Wine Travel: If your son enjoys traveling, plan a wine-focused vacation for him. Research destinations known for their wine regions, such as Napa Valley in California, Bordeaux in France, or Tuscany in Italy. Arrange winery visits, wine tours, and tastings to create a memorable experience for him. This gift will not only allow him to indulge in his passion but also create lasting memories.

Remember to consider your son's specific preferences and interests while choosing a gift. By selecting something that aligns with his passion for wine, you are showing thoughtful consideration and support for his hobbies.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
